FAITH CAPSULE: The enemy cannot be more powerful.

Exodus 1

God, the Alpha and Omega, the only one that is before the beginning and beyond the end is described by the Psalmist, “The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood, and the Lord sits as King forever.” (Psalm 29:10) God is already at sit as King that is in charge and capable of frustrating every flood of the wicked that is set to deny, derail or disrupt our steps in the journey of life. Moses was born at an appointed time and there was nothing the enemy could have possibly do to frustrate or disrupts him from where God was taking him. Joseph the dreamer had no better way for him to get to the center of his divine assignment than the way of empty dry pit, slavery and prison. It does not matter who you shared your dream with…the wicked or no wicked, God who called you will set you apart for his purpose and He will see you through.

Moses was born at a time when Pharaoh made a law to be killing every male child born by the Israelites. The Bible documents it, “So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son who is born you shall cast into the river…” (Exodus 1:22). When Moses was born, the mother hid him for three months, “But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.” (Exodus 2:3) Interestingly, Moses was supposed to be killed in the water according to Pharaoh but he was picked up from the water; Moses was picked up by Pharaoh’s daughter and he was raised up in the palace of Pharaoh where the law was made to kill every male Hebrew child. God is consistent to preserve and direct man to the center of divine assignment.

The enemy will attempt to terminate your journey but always remember that what the enemy is meant for evil is not beyond God. God perfects in reversing evil for good. Philippians 4:6 states, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Jesus gave us His word of deliverance, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)  When it looks like the Pharaoh of today is close on you, is there any better choice to make than to take to Jesus’ offer? The word of God is for us to understand that the enemy cannot be more powerful. Moses got to the center of his divine assignment and you shall do the same if you will take to the peace of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of strength to focus on the promises of His word.
